LONG-TERM pass holders and short-term visitors who have travelled to the United Kingdom within two weeks of leaving for Singapore, as well as short-term travellers with travel history to Australia's New South Wales in the past fortnight, will be denied entry into Singapore.

These UK travellers are barred from transiting through the Republic as well, as the authorities here tightened border measures, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) on Tuesday.
